Although Tesla's stock price was frustrated by the recall, there are still Investor's Business Daily articles that throw out the view that Tesla is close to the potential buying point, mainly because it is optimistic about the Q4 delivery data that Tesla will release next, and believes that Tesla's stock price is undergoing W bottom consolidation, if it can break through the $1119 pressure level, this may become a stock price breakthrough point.

How big is the impact of the recall, what is the point of Q4 delivery, and how do the major banks think about the future market of Tesla's stock price? Let's take a look.~

First, after the recall, Tesla Q4 delivery data is about to be released

Tesla expects to release fourth-quarter delivery figures by Jan. 5. According to FactSet, the average agency's expectation for Tesla deliveries is 261,400 Model 3 and Model Y models, 15,500 Model S and Model X models, a total of 276,900 units. In the third quarter of this year, Tesla delivered a total of 241,300 units, exceeding the market expectation of 232,000 units and setting a record high.

Royal Bank of Canada capital markets analysts gave a more optimistic forecast, expecting Tesla deliveries to soar 58% year-on-year in the fourth quarter and 18% sequentially to 285,000 units. Based on this calculation, Tesla's annual delivery volume will reach 913,000. The analyst expects Model 3 and Model Y deliveries in the fourth quarter to rise 69 percent year-over-year to 273,000 units.

The analyst also pointed out that as of September this year, with the surge in sales of new energy electric vehicles, two out of every three electric vehicles in the United States are Tesla. This year, manufacturers such as ford $F and General Motors $GM are facing a shortage of semiconductors, which seems to have limited impact on Tesla.

However, it is worth noting that Tesla's stock price is still facing a lot of pressure:

recall

In addition to this week's recall, Tesla has also carried out several recall operations before, so in the first 10 months, Tesla recalled nearly 3,000 Model 3 and Model Y models due to problems with the front suspension lateral linkage fasteners. The security implications behind the recall have raised concerns among consumers and investors.

In response, Tesla responded that from the latest statistics on December 30, Tesla's vehicle premium increase was about 10% on the national average, and the premium of the high-performance version of the more concerned model rose within 20% on the national average.
